GSM 850 Field Test Results

TEST HAS NOT STARTED

As many of you are aware the GTA01's GSM 850 is non-functional at this time. This test was designed by many in the OpenMoko community (thanks to Michael Shiloh) to rectify the situation. A GTA01 was modified and will be shipped around North America and the results will be posted here.

#Section to start and record re-playable GPS data !!!Information available to limited people!!
exec /home/root/gllin/gllin &
cat /home/root/gllin/nmeaNP > /media/card/nmeareplay &
# End GPS section
#Section to record GSM signal quality !!Do math for QOS statistics!!
#This Feature will be used to record signal quality ONLY no grep'ing for GSM commands
#End Section

Replaying the NMEA data can be done easily
Just copy the nmeareplay file to your machine (/home/username/nmeareplay)
in your GPS software change the gps port to the nmeareplay file (/home/username/nmeareplay)

When running, gllin creates a log file already, so nmeaNP doesn't need to be reflected to /home/root. Also, running for about two hours will fill the available memory. We need to record the log files on flash if we want to run for more than a few minutes. I do not know how to turn off the logging of the nmea0183 messages from gllin. On my device, I linked /home/root/gllin/logs to a logs directory on my removable flash. --Sagacis 08:52, 12 January 2008 (CET)

I think the logging should contain more information than just raw data. Something like the following, perhaps. --Sagacis 08:54, 12 January 2008 (CET)

TIME LAT LON SIGNAL_STRENGTH CARRIER NAME (BAND?)

The Executable

I've begun work on an openmoko gui application to display the information and log to a file. I may be done with it by 15 Jan 2008 if all goes well. So far I have a gui (fake data):
